This is an email between two real people. Names are fake.

From: Tyson, 14
To: Tia, 14
Length of Relationship: A couple of years

“I don’t think we should go out anymore. Thing is, the new girl and I have been together for three months. I know you won’t mind, because you’ve always been so understanding of me. I really think that you were like practice for me. You aren’t really my type.”

My thoughts: If she’s really that understanding, you wouldn’t be afraid to dump her in PERSON! Coward. (Really, that’s all I need to say.) I am amused.
